Chapter 1

Allegory is when words are used in nonliteral ways; a figurative treatment of one subject under the guise of another; a parable.

Luke 6:46-49 So why do you keep calling me ‘Lord, Lord!’ when you don’t do what I say? ⁴⁷ I will show you what it’s like when someone comes to me, listens to my teaching, and then follows it. ⁴⁸ It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock. When the floodwaters rise and break against that house, it stands firm because it is well built. ⁴⁹ But anyone who hears and doesn’t obey is like a person who builds a house without a foundation. When the floods sweep down against that house, it will collapse into a heap of ruins."

Matthew 18:12-14 If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? ¹³ And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! ¹⁴ In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish.

Matthew 13:45, 46 Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant on the lookout for choice pearls. ⁴⁶ When he discovered a pearl of great value, he sold everything he owned and bought it!

When Naomi attempted to convince Ruth to return to her family, Ruth evoked Naomi’s emotion by saying: Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. ¹⁷ Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me. Ruth 1: 16, 17. Salomon did the same thing in Proverbs 25: 15b. Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.

ANACOENOSIS

Anacoenosis arises when a speaker asks a question to his/her audience that raises common interest. In other word, the speaker looks for the approval of his audience as a way to convince his listeners to reach an agreement. In the book of Micah which is the sixth of the twelve minor prophets "O thou that art named
